News and Announcements

»Extended Return/Renewal Cycles for Faculty

The Library would like to remind Ordinary Faculty that their book return/renew cycle has been extended. Any books charged out after December 8, 2004 will be due on January 31, 2007. At the end of these two years, books must be physically presented for renewal, but you may continue to renew them for another two years if you need them. With this new, extended loan period, however, it is even more important that Faculty return books when they are no longer needed so that they are available to other members of the Georgetown community. Please keep this in mind as you bring in your books due for return or renewal this Monday, January 31, 2005.

Books borrowed by Adjunct and Visiting Faculty will continue to be governed by current privileges, with books due on May 31, 2005. We remind Faculty that all books may be recalled after 28 days and we urge everyone to comply promptly with a recall request. If you have any questions please contact Deborah Cook, Access Services, 687-7461.
